Council approves vacating portion of undeveloped right-of-way south of 220 North
Summary
The Fairfield Town Council approved an ordinance vacating an undeveloped north–south right-of-way near 175 East to clarify property lines after the Christiansen family transferred the property to a family trust.
The Fairfield Town Council on July 16 approved an ordinance vacating a portion of an undeveloped right-of-way located directly south of 220 North and west of 200 East, approximately at 175 East, running north–south. The ordinance passed by motion and voice vote.
Officials said the segment has been effectively abandoned for years, is not developed as a public roadway, and is being cleaned up to align property lines after the parcel was transferred into a family trust. In exchange, the developer/landowner agreed to dedicate a small triangular portion of property elsewhere so a centerline could be aligned for a future intersection.
At the meeting staff displayed a map and explained the road “stops there” and that no improvements or plans for a public roadway existed on the parcel. The council sought public comment; residents who live adjacent to the area confirmed the road is undeveloped.
Following public input, a councilmember moved to approve the ordinance vacating the undeveloped right-of-way; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Staff said the town will record the deed transfer once proper legal documentation is prepared.
Councilmembers noted the town has previously vacated a segment of road south of the subject property and that the action is primarily to tidy property lines and reflect current on-the-ground conditions.
Staff indicated Utah County had agreed to deed two roadway parcels to the town and that the town attorney would prepare deeds for recording.
